Diet has always been an important part of Ayurvedic healing!! Haritha Ayurveda Academy and Panchkarma Centre has been training students worldwide in the Ayurvedic diet and cooking through its certified Ayurveda cooking course. The Ayurveda diet, cooking and nutrition certification program by Haritha uncovers the various ancient Ayurvedic principles and dosha-based healing meals and cuisine. This course is often preferred by Ayurvedic professionals, practitioners, dieticians, Ayurvedic chefs, and anyone who wants to rejuvenate using the detox dishes of Ayurveda.
Our Ayurvedic Diet Course Rishikesh is not only about theoretical training, but it also offers proper practical hands-on practice in cooking Ayurvedic meals depending on the treatment and dosha assessments. The students learn the identification and use of effective herbs, spices, vegetables, grains, and other ingredients in preparing a healing Ayurvedic meal under the guidance of our certified Ayurvedic practitioners and chefs!!
A 7 & 14-day certificate course in Ayurvedic diet, nutrition and cooking — just 2 hours a day.
According to Ayurveda, every human has certain common and certain distinct properties inherently. To maintain the balance of good and bad, there should be control of what we intake. The doshas define what should or shouldn’t be consumed- both, the physical and emotional needs need to be satisfied.
One’s diet also has its inherent properties depending on the source, preparation methodology, environmental factors, etc. Ayurveda helps align the human needs (one’s svasthya) and what the food items have, to offer. This is also why the diet and nutrition course is customised for each individual and not mass-produced- to suit the needs of one’s body.
Ayurveda classifies food based on the different rasas and gunas. The qualities of the items have a direct impact on their ayurvedic importance. This type of cooking and nutrition intake is a very holistic approach to living a healthy life and also the first step towards it.
Known as the "Yoga Capital of the World," Rishikesh is the birthplace of many ancient wellness traditions — and the ideal place to immerse yourself in authentic Ayurveda.

Ayurveda has always placed special emphasis on ahara and anna — diet and food — because healing begins from within.
The ancient texts of Ayurveda mention the importance of ahar or food in healing the human body, mind, and soul. Instead of offering one diet that fits all, Ayurveda ensures meals that depend on an individual's body type, three doshas, digestive fire agni, daily routine, and wellness goal.

Two hours a day sounds short but it is exactly right — you cook, you eat what you made, and you have the rest of the day free. I now understand why certain foods never agreed with me. The spice module alone changed my kitchen.
Joined the 14-day option alongside a yoga course and the two complemented each other perfectly. Body constitution analysis on day one, then everything after that made sense in context rather than being a list of rules.
I grew up around Ayurvedic food but never knew the reasoning. Rasas and gunas were explained clearly and the home remedies section has been the most useful part in daily life. Teachers are patient and answer everything.
Genuinely practical — nothing needs equipment or ingredients I cannot get at home. The yogic diet class and the section on digestion were eye-opening. Certificate issued on the final day with no fuss.
No cooking background whatsoever and I kept up fine. Small group so you actually get to prepare each dish yourself rather than watch. The food we made was delicious, which helps.
A calm, well-organised course in a lovely setting. I appreciated that they explain which foods to avoid for particular conditions rather than only what to eat. Would recommend it to anyone studying Ayurveda.
